Frequently Asked Questions

How Do We Get Across Florida In 7 Days?

We ride an average of 16-18 miles a day, Bradenton to Fort Pierce, FL.

Move Rigs in the Morning:
Drivers move rigs to the next night camp, then transportation picks up the drivers at the next night camp & takes them back to their horses to ride.

Move Rigs at Lunch:
When we get to our lunch break transportation picks up drivers & takes them back to the previous night camp. They drive their rigs to the next night camp & transportation brings them back to the lunch location. We then ride on to the night’s campsite.

No! If you haven’t been before we’d love for you to “try” it out, Join us…For 1 day, a couple of days, all week your choice! We pass through some parts of Florida most people don’t get to see but we also travel mainly along roadways to stay true to the route that was taken historically.
